BBC iPlayer with you view disabled

Hi all

 

I have disabled you view as I want to utilise satellite channels. I understand BBC iPlayer will work without you view enabled. How do I access iPlayer on the xe9005?

Did you bring in a Sony Android TV from another country? If so, which country?

 

It may be possible to download a UK version of the software for the TV, on the next release.

 

I did this for a Samsung TV I brought from Spain, though I had to go ‘behind the scenes’ to switch the TV to UK usage. After which it worked fine in SD, but I found I still had no HD channels, as Samsung had economised by not fitting the DVB-T2 tuner needed for HD in the UK, but not needed in Spain :cry:

 

So it’s back in Spain now, and I had to buy a UK model. I’ve no idea if Sonys are the same in this respect, though.

 

YouView Superuser, but not an employee of YouView, nor retained by them for this purpose. It's purely me speaking

As Rod Hull points out, links are not allowed here for some reason. Do a google search for

 "hoshsadiq" "github" and "bravia-youview-player-launchers"

This allows me to run all the catchup programs with Youview disabled on my XE9005

Hi

I have tried side loading the Hosh... app but the installer reports a parsing error. Have tried several downloads including the earlier version and tried to install with both ES Explorer and X-plore. Other apps install okay. Have opened the apk as a zip and all looks okay, the manifest is readable.

Suggestions?

TIA

PS. Still running Android 6 so maybe only compatible with 7. Anyone installed on 6?
